The ACT-INCLUSIVE project, under the Erasmus+ Programme, is proud to announce the release of its comprehensive collection of best practices aimed at promoting inclusiveness in schools through non-formal education activities. Funded by the European Commission, the initative underscores the project's commitment to foster a more inclusive educational environment for students with diverse needs.

The primary goal of this collection is to provide educators, policymakers, and others with practical examples and methodologies that have proven effective in promoting inclusiveness. By implementing these practices, schools can better support students with diverse needs, fostering an environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Highlights from the Collection of Good Practices

  1. “H@z Tic” Project: This initiative focuses on digital literacy for students with Down Syndrome, utilizing tablet-PCs to facilitate learning and integration in the classroom. The project emphasises the importance of family involvement and coordination between educational institutions and associations to support student development.
  2. VIDA Project: Aimed at students with intellectual or developmental disabilities, this project provides comprehensive training on their rights, self-determination, and cognitive accessibility. The project is crucial in ensuring that these students can enjoy full citizenship and active participation in society.
  3. Shared Dances - Danses partagées: This cultural initiative involves students from various educational levels in dance workshops and performances. It aims to build a sense of community and raise awareness about different forms of disability through inclusive artistic practices.
  4. Sensory Workshop: Focused on enhancing students' understanding of sensory disabilities, this workshop engages participants in activities that simulate the challenges faced by individuals with impairments in touch, smell, and upper-limb function.
  5. Inclusive Teams Concept: This concept promotes the formation of multi-professional teams to support students with learning difficulties. It emphasises collaboration among educators, psychologists, and other professionals to create a more effective and inclusive educational practice.

Future Directions

ACT-INCLUSIVE will continue to expand its repository of good practices and encourage the adoption of these methodologies across schools in Europe. Our next steps include conducting workshops, training sessions, and conferences to disseminate these practices widely and support their implementation at the grassroots level.
